A thread 🧵
{Retweet for awareness!}
What increased your risk of having cancer if the womb?
- Obesity
- Late menopause (after 52 years)
- High estrogen levels
- Nuliparous (not giving birth)
- Diabetes
- Drugs e.g. tamoxifen, tibolone
- Family history of womb cancer esp in your mother, sister or daughter.

- Family history of womb cancer esp in your mother, sister or daughter.
Once a womb cancer is suspected, two common tests can be done to confirm it;
- Trans-vaginal #ultrasound scan: the walls of the uterus might be more than 4mm thick
- Womb tissue can be taken out (#biopsy) for histology: highly definitive if done using hysteroscopy
- Trans-vaginal #ultrasound scan: the walls of the uterus might be more than 4mm thick

Common drugs causing fatty liver
Steroids, Valproate
Inj Tetracycline
#HIV #AIDS meds NRTIs
Rare - methotrexate, chemodrugs irinotecan, 5FU, tamoxifen
Also important is Amiodarone
Herbals with #Margosa oil too
Remember #alternative meds rich in fats are important causes too.

#ToughTxCase I am going to start an educational series for #transplant professionals/trainees on complex cases I have the privilege to see @UWHealth Patients have provided informed consent for us to discuss their condition in order to help other similar cases @uw_nephrology
#ToughTxCase #1 is the story of Tom, a 73 year old man, who received a living unrelated #kidney tx for #ESRD due to an unknown etiology. Low immunological risk, VXM (-), #CMV D+/R-, basiliximab induction, standard TAC/MPA/P maintenance Rx on Valgan prophylaxis x 6M @TxPharmD
At his 3M visit, Tom complains of #diarrhea, weight loss (4 lbs in 1 month) and poor energy. His kidney fxn is at baseline Scr 1.3 mg/dL. What is the most likely diagnosis? Please feel free to discuss! @uw_IMresidency @askrenal @Nephro_Sparks

What is the diagnosis?
In patients with cirrhosis, always try to find the cause in those who present early. There is no idiopathic, no cryptogenic. Its all 'missed' cirrhosis.

(2/3) After experiencing a complete response, the patient was re-transplanted with a second kidney. This second graft was monitored for rejection using a novel #liquid #biopsy.
This is the first time, to my knowledge, a patient beat cancer and active organ rejection.
